It was big enough and also too sexy for a regular comic. I probably read that book a zillion times.

I remember that finding out about this book from a reference to it in the FF story, "the Naked Truth." I hadn't heard/seen anything about it prior to that. It never seemed like it was worth tracking down because I knew nothing about it except that Jennifer ended up permanently stuck as the She-Hulk. At least, as permanently as anything is in comics.

There's so much about this book to love.  Tons of great art, but the panel that BLOWS ME AWAY is the Helicarrier crash!  You can practically feel the nuts, bolts, and shrapnel go whipping past your head!

JB::
was able to name both women! (I can't, any longer.)


I'm gonna throw a guess. Rachel Mclish and Cory Everson. (meow..)
Damn this is a good lookin book. I sometimes think that the JB  She-Hulk was created for the sole purpose of sending every single male into second, third and yeah damn it, I'll say it...fourth puberties.

It has a heck of alotta YUM YUM qualities.

Put me in the camp of not liking DeMulder's inks on this. One of my favorites by JB, but I just don't like the inking.

I agree with Tim. This book should be a movie.

The character Dooley - looking at him now I realize he's got facial scarring.
A big part of me wants to say it's acne scarring.
(EDIT: oh wait, the scarring appears to be on just one side)
Before this graphic novel did he have a life in the Marvel Universe?

the quote about jumping with a rope in page 27 ( or so ! )... I am pretty sure it is related to the Sensational She-Hulk cover where Mister B is presenting a rope to a naked Jen just covered by the comics code authority ?

Funny, I just noticed this today...

Never too late...

Amazing how the work looks so much better in B&W.  The colors didn't do justice to this great GN.  I wish JB did the whole bloody thing.

I liked the inks, I even go DeMulder to sign my copy the same year that JB did at MOC(2004). He was at a table across from Roger Stern and I had no idea that Kim was there until Dave Pruitt told me.

Does any of the other members have the original art from this classic epic?

I remember finding the scene with the "roach transfer" really, really disturbing.
